Arrichino of Genoa

Arrichino of Genoa (died 1140) was a captain in the army of the Duchy of Milan and a member of the Knights Templar.

Biography
Arrichino was a Captain in the army of the Duchy of Milan, pretending to be loyal to the House of Rossi, but he was really a member of the Templar Order, and was part of their plot to assassinate the Venetian rulers in Milan and reclaim the city for both the Milanese and the Templars.

Death


Arrichino's plot was found out by assassin Raynucio Bianchetti, who wandered into his quarters and found him sleeping in his bed. Bianchetti produced a snake, one with poisonous venom, and slid it under the blankets of Arrichino. The asp bit Arrichino, killing him, and Bianchetti left the room.
